Police vehicle rammed in Walmart

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Dec, 2024 02:11 PM
  • Police vehicle rammed in Walmart

A man who rammed a police vehicle in the Walmart parking lot in Quesnel was tracked down with a police dog last night.

R-C-M-P say they received a report of a stolen vehicle yesterday and officers found it at Walmart with the suspect still inside.

The driver got away by running the stolen vehicle into the police cruiser, but the R-C-M-P later received a report of the vehicle going off the road and the man leaving on foot.

The dog tracked the suspect to a barricaded shed, where police arrested the 30-year-old who they say was supposed to be on electronic monitoring, but had removed his ankle device.
